The authors review the technological trends for the future AMOLED, especially for unique applications to small- and medium-sized displays as well as large-sized AMOLED TV. The unique characteristics of AMOLED enable paper-thin, foldable, bendable and transparent displays which the other display technology can't easily realize. For large-sized AMOLED TV, TFT backplane, color patterning and encapsulation are the key technological issues and the new technologies should be developed for the mass production of AMOLED TV. The issues and some candidate technologies which can pave the way for mass production of AMOLED TV are also briefly reviewed.
